To the Legendary Masai Mara
Welcome to Africa! You will be picked up at your Nairobi hotel or Nairobi Jomo Kenyatta Airport by your professional safari guide and depart for the legendary Masai Mara National Reserve, enjoying the transition from lakeside serenity to open savannahs rich with wildlife. Arrive in time for lunch at your camp, followed by a short rest. In the afternoon, venture out for your first game drive in one of Africa’s most celebrated wildlife areas. The Mara is famed for its high density of big cats, large elephant herds, and dramatic river crossings during the Great Migration (July–October).
The next day is dedicated to morning and afternoon game drives, maximizing your chances to spot the Big Five and witness thrilling wildlife moments. Optional activities include a visit to a traditional Maasai village to learn about their culture and lifestyle, or a sunrise hot air balloon safari that offers breathtaking aerial views of the plains—especially magical during migration season.

Iconic Serengeti-Tanzania's Timeless Treasures
Iconic Serengeti-Tanzania's Timeless Treasures
Begin your day with an early departure for the Isebania border. After a 2-hour drive, you'll complete immigration procedures and continue into Tanzania. After lunch near the border, enjoy a 2–3 hour drive through the wilderness into the Serengeti, with a game drive en route to your tented lodge, arriving in time for delicious dinner. As the sun begins to lower, the Serengeti reveals its dramatic beauty and abundant wildlife—this is classic Africa at its finest.
Over the next two days, embark on both morning and afternoon game drives across the vast Serengeti plains. This park is renowned for its seemingly endless horizon, predator-prey interactions, and the annual migration of wildebeest and zebras. Optional activities mirror those in the Mara: a visit to a Maasai village or a hot air balloon safari, if you missed them earlier. Back at camp, enjoy fireside dinners under the stars.

To the Garden of Eden of Africa-the Ngorongoro Crater
After breakfast, depart the Serengeti and enjoy a wildlife-filled drive to the Ngorongoro Conservation Area. You'll approach the crater from the northern, desert-like rim. Stop for a scenic picnic lunch or eat from your vehicle while taking in panoramic views before descending into the world’s largest intact caldera for an afternoon game drive. The Crater floor is teeming with wildlife, including rhinos, lions, and flamingoes, all framed by lush green walls.
Spend the night at a nearby camp, then prepare for a full-day crater expedition the next day. With a packed picnic lunch, you'll explore this extraordinary environment in depth. Because of its enclosed nature, Ngorongoro offers a high density of wildlife, all easily visible against the backdrop of lakes, forests, and grasslands. It’s one of the best places in Africa to spot endangered black rhinos and to observe predator-prey dynamics in a condensed ecosystem.
